MANILA (Philippines News Agency) — A week and a half after getting blown out in their PBA Governors’ Cup meeting, Ginebra exacted revenge on TNT at a time it needed the most through a 121-94 rout in Game 1 of their semifinal series at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Monday night.

The Barangay scored 95 points in the first three quarters before limiting the KaTropa to only 19 points in the final period to seal the blowout.
